Load Cells

Load cells convert force into electrical signals for weight and force measurement. Bending beam load cells measure perpendicular forces. Tension/compression load cells measure pulling or pushing forces, while low-profile compression load cells provide weight measurement where space is limited.

Load Cells

Load cells are precision sensors that convert mechanical force into electrical signals using internal strain gauges to sense minute deformations in a metal element. As force is applied, these deformations alter the electrical resistance, which provides high-resolution measurement signals for monitoring and control systems. From compact machinery to large-scale automation, load cells offer accuracy, durability, and easy integration.

Low-profile Compression Load Cells

When space is limited, but accuracy can't be compromised — think platform scales, mobile equipment, or retrofitted machinery — the Laumas^® CBL series solves the problem with a low-profile footprint. It fits into tight spaces without sacrificing performance.

250 to 12,500 kg (551 to 27,558 lbs) measuring ranges
150% overload rating prevents damage and extends sensor lifespan
Withstands harsh environments thanks to stainless steel design
Operates reliably in washdown or outdoor settings (IP68-rated)
Maintains measurement accuracy even in compact, mobile, or portable setups
